This community needs to be better at not demonizing kink communities. Boundaries are one thing but referring to kink communities as “icky” is hurtful.
Agere and kink must be separate and boundaries are very important but that in no way requires hating on kink communities and the people in them. Unfortunately, I think a lot of this hate just comes from being misinformed. I used to hate on kink too but when I educated myself I realized that age play and abdl aren’t pedophillia or gross or anything like that. Many age players engage in such for the same reasons we do: childhood trauma and the comfort and safety of being kid again (there are other reasons too, I just didn’t mention them). They just do it in a different way than we do which is 100% valid.
You also have to acknowledge that just because someone is a sfw regressor, that doesn’t mean their entire existence is sfw. That shouldn’t be mind blowing. A lot of us are adults that like adult things. When you demonize kink communities, you are probably hurting people in your own community too. Sex is normal and should NOT be shameful. Feelings don’t make anyone bad or evil and I went through way too much purity culture related trauma to say otherwise.
Anyways, thanks for listening to my ramble. This isn’t what I normally post about but I wanted to talk about it. Have a great day and thanks for listening. <3
